Text | Heretofore the “Only” has considered that he was not playing base-ball unless about every other batter struck out on him. The consequence was that he worse out the catcher, himself, and the audiences. It may be more scientific playing, but it is not nearly so satisfactory to the crowd. Spectators enjoy the sport much more when hits and runs are made, and a chance given for exhibitions of good fielding a base running. Strictly scientific games, where the scores are kept down, never were and never can be very popular, because they become tiresome and exceedingly monotonous. |
